awful satisfaction

is it possible to portray anything well without properly understanding it

---

I wonder if poetry is anything but turning music into words

---

language is an animal - language is a beast. each noun its growl, each howl a verb. the people who have a way with language are the ones who wait and listen, instead of plying their hooks and ropes, clutching and clawing at words to support them

the great thing about the London overground is that it doesn't listen to you. it doesn't come when you want it to - doesn't depart at your convenience. the sun is the same; you can never predict how hard or how soft it will shine on any given day, but that's what makes its rays - and all the objects it gilds - precious. the only things in this world that are truly priceless are the ones you might never see again
